Summary

This is a deeply personal story of a young woman’s journey through addiction; the loss of her child’s father through an overdose, her mother’s suicide, and the tragic consequences that those lifestyle choices bring. 

At 15, Shelley was submerged into the seedy world of the red-light district of Honolulu. As the warm-up act for the strippers, she became a topless dancer only to discover she was not emotionally prepared for the lewd attention. Pills and heroin helped her to cope with a lifestyle that was beyond her years. 

Heartbreaking at times, this memoir follows Shelley as she makes her way into the rooms of recovery and the pitfalls and successes that await. Powerful, moving, and inspirational.

Well performed insight into a very different life

This is the first time I’ve ever heard a story told from the perspective of an addict. This is a story that cover many different states, people and situations, as the author moves from dark to light. It is frank and not for the easily offended, but I felt as if I really got to know the author. Part of that is due to the very skillful narration. The reader made me believe she was telling me her story and embraced the wide range of emotions. It kept me interested throughout the whole story.
